But, every other team in baseball had the same limitations on them, and they still didnt win nearly as many timea s the Yankees did. It's not like every other team had to go through three playoff series and the Yankees only had to go through one. They were all on equal footing and the Yankees won more than any other team. So your "criticism" makes no sense whatsoever.
Also, you could argue that it makes the Yankees history even greater, because you could only play in the World Series if you were the absolute best team in the league over 162 games, not because you barely squeaked into the playoffs with the 13th best record in baseball, and then played well in a few short series (like the 2006 Cardinals, or to be fair, the 2000 Yankees)
You're letting your experiences with Yankee fans influence your ability to judge and assess the team, and as a result, you're making statements that should be objective, but they're subjective and biased instead
